and that's georgia has to georgia, rashid buying gold to both the kids. so if you create, forget the name, it is the yeah, you're a member to the section. yes, sure. the evidence was that the, the specialist read uh hire invoice. so that there is not the any evidence of it. so that's why i think and another one of the opposition representative, he had a transformed old expected jake location of the main sal assigned the resolution for the face of russian interest 10 by the have the on the goes to to came out just to give the brandy and tomorrow if you don't mind because we need to keep on track with this particular discussion, we don't have very long to get to the ultimate let me bring it in to an a k. at this stage you'll the embrace those was is the block saying about best bell. there was a unanimous from the mission of israel and uh, just uh, uh, quotes on the. busy issue to tell you that georgia, that these lawyers adults do are each will jo provider to destroy the chance of do you have georgia to uh, to become a member even to start negotiating? it's

by the georgia. now coming to your question. yes, the board was abandoned last year. but this year, um, do you has a critical elections in october? and so as the leader of georgians read yesterday, playing the key polls the slow and again, no. to introduce to positions. he never human. the he's not learned about this is a business. he said, a society, an independent spread out of 49, and he needs to move to we can them before the election. what, what you said a very, very key in 10 seconds. a secondary question is that at georgia needs. so russia needs to see from georgia, a sign of a allegiance and loyalty. and these kind of lawyers are adult people to be in georgia but as indifference for the soviet countries were all the russian reports. and this is the sign of allegiance to russia and demonstration of loyalty. why never russia is never mentioned as it corrects george's independence, george russell, i just 20 percent of georgia territory. and the biggest threat to georgia is the, and yours and rep

how will this affect georgia's move to the eu? in the eu, this draft law, like last year, is criticized, the president of the european council said. such a law will distance georgia from the european union rather than bring it closer, and the fact that it will become an obstacle to european integration, the european commissioner for enlargement also stated. georgia received the status of a candidate country for joining the eu at the end of last year, with the condition that it fulfills the recommendations of the european commission, in fact one and a half years after ukraine and moldova received such status. however, prime minister of georgia iraklii kobakhidze declares that the draft law on inagents, on the contrary, is european based. on european values, it is necessary for transparency and accountability to make it clear who receives foreign grants and how, and he rejects the criticism of representatives of the event, but i repeat the argument, you have seen these statements, for example, stoltenberg and scholz, they say that t

today , the entire national team of georgia opposed this law.that is, in fact, not only the opposition, not only the opposition, everyone opposes this law, which creates an optimistic mood, because if the authorities do not lose their minds, they will be taken into account, but the very initiation of this law was already a sign, well, i only i will remind our viewers, who do not know , the national football team of georgia for the first time in its history or in its independence , it reached the final part of the european championship, defeating, if i am not mistaken, the greek national team on its way, well, actually, that is why it is important that the support is from the football players of this team, which has already become legendary in georgia, we have seen video protests, which are now on the squares and in front of the parliament, and if this happens, what you said about will lose its meaning and will be adopted in the second reading as a whole. this draft law on so-called foreign agents, and which ones, what kind of reaction it might c

for example, the inclusion of the issue of georgia, the occupied territories of georgia, in the internationaln the international sanctions imposed on russia. why not... it is a simple georgian interest that our issue be in a package with ukraine on the diplomatic front, but the georgian government is firmly against this, and thereby demonstrates that it is de facto already satellite of russia, this is our authenticity, this is reality. expert on east asian issues, master of foreign affairs. politicians, mrs. natalia, good evening, good evening, well, let's try to understand with you what is happening now with chinese interest in the russian-ukrainian track, after all, when the chinese say that they are ready to provide a platform for a russian-ukrainian conference , that there should be bilateral communication, that a conference in which russia will not be present makes no sense, it is practically the same as what the russians themselves say, that they do they want to achieve at all? well, actually speaking, they voiced their position, what you said: what russia wants. we have a platform for

and already in such a belarusianization is taking place in georgia. to a certain extent.l, in any, i would say, authoritarianism, which wants to focus on russia, is forced to build statehood according to the russian example. and as you remember, it was always like that in ukraine. why were all our protests so serious, either our government wanted to falsify the elections, or it refused european integration. do you remember the example in iran, where the russians really managed to convince the then president serzh sakhsyan that it was necessary to abandon the agreement on the european association, and armenia was immediately brought to the eurasian union, to the csto, and then, when the real problem began, the war, it turned out that russia was not going to defend it, that is also a very good example, that is, for moscow, the main thing is to separate, separate to connect the post-soviet space and the civilized one. world, by the way, here is an interesting moment, but if there is any chinese funding of, say, public organizations in kyrgyzstan, this will also be limited, t

vitaly, perhaps we will talk about what is happening now in georgia, the actual adoption of the law on foreign agents, foreign agents yes, or agents of influence, well, relatively speaking, it is a kind of carbon copy from the russian law, plus or minus somewhere, and by the way, a very similar law was also adopted in kyrgyzstan, mr. vitaly, how do you evaluate such actions. other authorities, why right now, why is georgia sliding towards such postulates of russian authoritarianism, well , by the way, this is an interesting story, because this law has not really been adopted in georgia yet, in in kyrgyzstan, it has already been approved and signed by president zhaparov, and here we can clearly say that this is not just some kind of, you know, formal thing, because after the law on kyrgyzstan was signed, the president... zhoparov, he said that he did not there will be no problems, that there will be no difficulties with public organizations, and after he said this, public organizations began to close one after another, but just a few days ago, despite all the assurances of sadir japarov

in georgia, according to one survey, it's 40%. leah chan says research on medicaid, including from states that used the aca to expand, shows that those on the program have better health outcomes. what's more, she says, georgia taxpayers pay more for each pathways participant than they woulunder full medicaid expansion because the federal subsidy is smaller. you say that pathways isn't as good as medicaid expanon, but is it better than nothing? leah chan: so weave the opportunity before us to bring billions of dollars to our state, create tens of thousands of new jobs, shore up the financial stability of our rural hospitals, and get access to health care for hundreds of thousands of georgians. and instead, we have chosen this other path that is more expensive and covers fewer people. john: in addition, chan says the existing pathways program has a big barrier -- every month, participants must submit documentation to certify that they're meeting the requirements. that's impossible for people like donald crawford in rural toccoa, geo

as for georgia's future eu membership, let me be clear.put a new clause into the constitution on georgia's european union membership and nato membership. we do not believe that this transparency law could make an obstacle for georgia's eu membership because the european union is working on the same similar legislation, i can tell you it is much more strict than the eu legislation —— stricter than the georgian legislation... but legislation -- stricter than the georgian legislation... but the geora ian georgian legislation... but the georgian legislation _ georgian legislation... but the georgian legislation is - georgian legislation... but the georgian legislation is stricter| georgian legislation is stricter than russia's, which includes religious groups, russia's doesn't. there is a separate legislation for georgia for religious groups, religious groups are not registered in georgia as non—governmental organisations, so that it is also a misrepresentation of the facts. religious groups are not having the same status in georgia as the non

and such cases have already happened in georgia, but this time. the government does not have any legitimacy in this case, so in my opinion we lost lost the connection, well, that is, i will remind, in fact, about what i reminded mr. mamutsa at the very beginning of the creation of the georgian national legion, he actually explained why... his brothers took up arms and defend the independence of ukraine, this is precisely about that at one time he was still the head of the first independent ichkeria of chechnya, do you remember whom the russians eliminated, he said that ukraine would be next, yes, i am quoting dodayev, well, somewhere this logic about a free ukraine and the liberation of the caucasus from russian imperial oppression, it runs now in russian-ukrainian front, we have re-established contact. mr. mamuka will continue his opinion, actually what, what will happen, what will happen. rosen society has come through several revolutions and civil wars in the 30 years since the collapse of the soviet union, and now it has learned to respond cor

well, by the way, this is an interesting story, because in georgia this law has not yet been adopted, in kyrgyzstan it has already been adopted and signed by president zhaparov, and here we can clearly say that this is not just some kind of, you know, formal thing, because after when the law on kyrgyzstan was signed, president kasym japarov said that there would be no problems, that there would be no there are no difficulties with public organizations, and after he said that, public organizations began to close one after the other, but just a few days ago, despite all the assurances of sadyr japarov, the soros foundation kyrgyzstan stopped... the work, and you understand, that for such a small country as kyrgyzstan, every such organization that allows the creation of public initiatives, independent media, is a huge story, and here we have a simple situation, here was kyrgyzstan, which was always considered just one of these exceptions from central asian politics, because the government changed, independent media appeared, there were different political parties in the parliament, wheth

and there was a war in georgia, 2008. so difficult to be taken into account that they don't want people from russia . and yeah, i don't know which bus for day today, most likely he's russian because of course he's for r t. so i think this might be the reason because of your being russian as well. and yeah it's, it's a to happen. i mean, we saw this is like a trend. so we saw it last days. i discovered that, uh, for instance it's, it's a different case. it's not a journalist, but disagree, asked minnesota, who is detained in berlin, like a philistine and surgeon who was detained in berlin because they want to attend the conference. so also freedom of speech is not allowed for gas. that is not allowed for russia for us. if it's like a trend, and of course georgia has applied in december last year to become a member of the european union. so according to your being union means they have to follow their rules. this is most likely. yeah, what is happening now? this june release from russia cannot to enter. it's a disgrace that

bidzina ivanishvili, but what is clear is that georgia is now plunged into another spiral of violenton, and this... the georgian dream did it, and what, what didn't she have a goal, this is also a very good, good question, the biggest goal of the georgian dream now is to win the parliamentary elections that will be held in georgia in october of this year, and apparently they... believe that, that in this way they assert their positions in the election process, because it is clear that this step is aimed at more polarization of our society, and we now have such a situation that if, in addition to the georgian dream and... the parliament and... er, this polarization of society is being done more restructuring of the vote of the voters in favor of the first and second parties, so maybe this is the opinion, but i must say that it is very... forces in the opposition to somehow at least stop this process? well, i say yes, very such people who have such a very high reputation in the society of georgia, this is the intelligentsia, and athletes, and the student movement, there are many, many

and that 1st day strengthening democratic institutions in georgia, georgia, and used to work and reforms to get closer to them they to and that you were being union, the georgia and people made it clear that they want a democratic prosperous feud showing the repeal erode lots of family, i'm afraid that any law that introduces this idea of foreign agents will have an impact on media outlets that also operates in georgia, undermining the better idea of macon, georgia, a stronger and more democratic society. and now, despite all these claims from these georgian liberals in the west that this is some sort of proposed russian style law. i mean, we also have to understand that the united states has had a for an agencies law since the mid 20th century. and the european union also recently enact that its own a similar law though the europeans say it's not a for an agency law. it's a defense of democracy package, right? so this is the 1st time such and always been out for the discussion in georgia last year. it was also discussed but why wasn't that adulthood? that's right. actually last year i m

its proxy organizations in georgia, are basically trying to thwart the ruling euro skeptic, georgia dream party, in whatever it's trying to do in an attempt to basically cartel its political power and hopefully i mean in the, in their hopes obviously trim down the political power the georgia dream will have in parliament after these next elections.

, valery chichilashvili, georgian diplomat, former ambassador of georgia to ukraine, russia, moldova,be on the air now, mr. valery, congratulations, i congratulate you, it is very nice to be with you, thank you for the invitation , so what happens in general, that is explain to our viewers why the authorities in georgia decided to adopt this infamous law on the foreign agency, although it... does not need it, does not change the situation before the elections, if only for the worst, worsens the conditions of european integration of georgia, what is happening, what is happening in bidzina's head imanishvili? well , this is a very difficult question, and i am probably not the right expert, because i did not have the opportunity to communicate with mr. bidzina ivanishvili, but what is clear is that georgia is now thrown in. uh, into another spiral of fierce resistance, and she did it, she did it the georgian dream, and what goals did it have, this is also a very good, good question, the biggest goal of the georgian dream is to win the parliamentary elections now, which will take place. g

it's a proxy organizations in georgia, are basically trying to thwart the ruling euro skeptic, georgia dream party, in whatever it's trying to do in an attempt to basically cartel its political power and hopefully i mean in the, in their hopes obviously trim down the political power the georgia dream will have in parliament after these next elections. my colleagues donald quarter and nicky are in earlier know a china seas. no external actor should attempt to spoil it's by law friendly relations with russia, where the direct marks after us treasury secretary janet the ellen who is touring the asian country threatening chinese companies with repercussions for working with moscow. for continue to be concerned about the roles that any firms, including those in the p, r c, are playing and rushes, military procurement. i stress big companies including those in the p, r. c must not provide material support for roaches for and that they will face significant consequences if they do. and i reinforce that, any banks that facilitate significant transactions, the channel military, or do use goods

and the you will not have time for georgia. and we have elections in the for, and later in the us to the money that goes to the n g o st. francis and development of from the policies. that is the interest of southern public organizations in money is so great that they are ready to complete the task that for the board window basically no evictions. the field of action is getting wider and wider. the scale is already frightening. that is why the prime minister can pass what is happening with the grades because they gave so much money to turn it around at 1st and then it was impossible to shut it down to it. so now that the situation get out of control, the process is the game isn't gullible estimate with this cannot be allowed to happen in georgia. the president of catholic stem house call for tolerance. so for the use of the russian language in the country, he made the statement while visiting a russian speaking region of the central asian state. the spoken simple according to our constitution, the cause of the language does the

and this is not something that's specific to georgia. i mean, the european union itself has similar for an agency legislation. it's just they call it a defensive democracy package, not an actual for an agencies law. and if we look at the united states, there's been a for an agencies log there as well. since the mid 20th century, actually. so there's plenty of western countries that have legislation like this that are aimed at controlling for an influence in the country. so despite all these, you know, georgian liberals and western politicians and figures saying that this has something to do with russia, it looks far from it or just an update on this. the bill on foreign agents has not passed the 1st reading in the george in parliament with no votes against it. though to become law, it must be adopted in 2 more readings. countries prime minister has said the motion is designed to prevent the so called ukraine ice ation of georgia. in you said the chief, well, they were actively trying to do in 2020, 2022, namely change of governments thro

well, elections are coming up on october 26th in georgia. and it's very likely that the west, along with it's a proxy organizations in georgia, are basically trying to thwart the ruling euro skeptic, georgia dream party, in whatever it's trying to do in an attempt to basically cartel its political power . and hopefully, i mean in their, in their hopes obviously trim down the political power, the georgia dream will have in parliament after these next elections. my colleagues still a quarter on the key or an earlier in our last christmas, some 200 people were murdered in churches and their homeless, my estimates militants in the central nigerian region. next and the modus operandi . manila john chronicles the challenges faced by christians and africans, most populous country, try that, the hello, i'm manilla chan. you are tuned into modus operandi. every year, thousands of christians in africa are slaughtered numbers unknown to much of the west due to a lack of media coverage. today we'll look into where this onslaught is most prevalent and wh

ruling georgia dream party. they feared the new bill mirrors legislation seen russia, whom the party has been accused of being sympathetic to the us has voiced opposition . and so to has the european union important for georgia, which once you membership is the bill passes. that to put george as a session, did at brisk sacrificing the georgia dream that the party and many people say they've long waited to achieve some more world news. now, the rains that flooded through by on tuesday have eased, but the disruptions continue at the airport. as hundreds of international passengers remain stranded. the u. a witness or record rainfall with more rain falling in 24 hours. then at any time, soon as the record keeping began, more than a 100000 people have been evacuated due to floods in kazakhstan water levels in rivers in russia, 0 and south western siberian regions are also rising. the disaster has been caused by heavy rains which have melted large accumulations of snow. and mars military government says former leader

and somehow involves georgia in its european ranks.gians are under 80%, 75, 80, well 70, at least, they all want to join europe, they all want to join nato, here the majority of the georgian people have exactly the same policy, and the government, which, obviously, which... is headed by a formal or informal, informal leader of the government is a person with russian roots, or rather with financial russian roots, she earned her billions precisely in russia. then she moved , and many people suspect that she moved to georgia not for nothing, but on the instructions of the federal security service of russia, well, putin directly, but they just removed saakashvili and won the election from him, it is not known, well, it is known how, well, as if honestly, or maybe dishonestly, we don't know, i don't know, i won't talk here, and now they are in power, and step by step they are starting to adopt some such strange decisions, and among these decisions there is just that... this law, the so-called russian law. the second point is that a year ago

and that's such a gay strengthening democratic institutions in georgia, georgia, and used to work and reforms to get close to tomato and the repeating union. the georgia and people made it clear that they wanted democratic prosperous feud showing that you were p e roads. isaac family, i'm afraid that any law that introduces this idea of 4 and the agents will have an impact on media outlets that also provides in georgia on demanding the better idea of macon, georgia, a stronger and more democratic society. now, despite all these claims from these georgian liberals in the west that this is some sort of proposed russian style law. i mean, we also have to understand that the united states has had a for an agencies law since the mid 20th century into europe and union. also recently enact that its own a similar law though the europeans say it's not a for an agency law, it's a defense of democracy package. this is the 1st time such as always been out for the discussion in georgia last year. it was also discussed but why wasn't that adulthood? that's right. actually last year i myself was in

the airport to was heading to georgia to cover the ongoing protest. the few more details right now with all these equal a basically my colleague and i was calling don't quote a he traveled to georgia on the, at the board to check points at the book at the board to check when he presented his passport. his his id and apparently he was told that if there was some technical glitch in the system that wouldn't recognize his passport these documents . and so he was just told to wait, it took, it looked fine at that time. but then he was quoted to an isolated room, and that was all pretty much we haven't had anything from him ever since. so probably his means of communications were taken away from him. it is a very troubling development because essentially it looks like he has been denied entry to georgia and he was traveling that to cover the latest protests in the georgia and capital against the lou on for an agents. again, this is not the 1st time that he's done so because it's the 2nd attempt to of the georgia government to pass this little and a he was

georgia is the leader among all the candidates.authorities actually went to vabank and put and condemned only individual people, but did not condemn the movement as such, not only the authorities, but also the opposition was not condemned neither politically nor legally, and after the elections the opposition will be condemned politically and... i think this is very revealing, and look, it became known that the government is now trying to force state budget workers, who supposedly support the adoption of this law, and it is also known that in the second reading the profile committee has already adopted this draft law, that is, it is expected to be considered in the second reading, and there are certain fears that this attempt ... , maybe, but i don't i can talk about some kind of civil war, it will be said very loudly, but there is a certain internal confrontation between the georgians themselves, aren't you afraid that it could turn out to be something grandiose? even more so as regards the basis of civil conflict, it. exists, but

that to put georgia's the session bid at risk . sacrificing the georgia dream that the party and many people say they've long waited to achieve you're up to date. thanks for watching the questions. got any issues or thoughts say what the .

and this is not something that's specific to georgia. i mean, the european union itself has similar for an agency legislation. it's just they call it a defensive democracy package, not an actual for an agencies law. and if we look at the united states, there's been a for an agencies law there as well. since the mid 20th century, actually. so there's plenty of western countries that have legislation like this that are aimed at controlling for an influence in the country. we also heard from the kremlin spokesman, spoke to person, demetrius coffee, said that russia has no interest in getting involved in georgias, internal political affairs, and that this law has nothing to do with russia. so despite all these, you know, georgian liberals and western politicians and figures saying that this has something to do with russia, it looks far from it was on monday. thanks for coming in and bring this up to speed on. the situation obviously is donald cool with the thank you. well, in the air is gearing up for the world's largest exercise of democrac

well, georgia and civil society is very, very diverse and it's moving force really for, for it, for georgia you, you integration. but we can see that over the years and exports have highlighted this, that we observe some backsliding something democracy because georgia in government has been, uh, you know, kind of trying to balance it out with russia. they see what happens in ukraine and the georgia and officials are trying to, as critics a piece russia, because they say that we had a war here in 2008. and we don't want it to repeat again. so that's, let's see. we see some, uh, you know, um, also it, it didn't, it coast the beast kind of in the lowest, also eco, these kind of foreign policy ship that we are absorbing here in georgia. as the w reporter maria, cut them on to thank you so much onto cause i've done now were flooding has forced the evacuation of nearly a 115000 people with the president calling of the nation's worst natural disaster in 8 decades. the waters of also submerged homes and russia southern regions the ural rivers throttles. both countries and water levels are rising ra

georgia and government claims this law is all about transparency. you say that's a lie, in your opinion, what's the government trying to do here? what i don't say, 1st of all, it says all the concerned members of the society, the and heroes, the media, and the largest, the population that protests are the slow because it's a copy of for the adjective by preaching some years ago. and that she has been forcing to gradually and completely recently, and that is designed to really meet the activities of the non governmental organization to lead me to the freedom of the media to lead me to the activity of the international organizations that are present in georgia. since our independence that there been funding and supporting our institutions, our progress towards democracy and in general, our past towards your, in your atlantic integration. so this low is criticized by everyone. and it's criticized by uh your 10 factors by our american partners. that say that this will be an obstacle to the european pass of georgia when we are expecting by the end of the

is maria cut the months into georgia and capital tbilisi? finally, the towards for the 2024 summer olympics has been lived at an event in greece. it took place in ancient olympia, the birthplace of the gates. the plan will stay a light throughout the competition which will be held in france during proceedings and olympic flame dance was performed. the torch will be carried through several countries on a 100 day journey until it arrives in paris for the opening ceremony in july. and that's your news round up for now. join us again at the top. so the next hour by the exchange innovation green, the green revolution global. so listen to a whole lot of crime. it's probably up to speed if the carriers subscribe to the subscribe to plan. it's a.

in georgia, we are not. our integrated system allows us to get the economy to scale to work with the 41 co-ops as well as the 49 municipal so that we have a system that works together. we are not building transmission lines or even generation. when you consider the integrated approach that we have taken, it has allowed us to get the economy to scale and survey large load base. i am very proud of the fact that our market structure has stood the test of time. it allows us to not only generated what is needed in the state, but to interconnect with the five neighboring regions to help them when they need assistance. >> yeah. thank you for that. mr. houston, coal and gas to adopt clients' technologies would have dire impacts and reliability and affordability. you mentioned that in indiana. you mention the impact to reliability from a proposed agency action like epa's clean powerplant 2.0. the grid act would ensure federal agencies cannot penalize before assessments. how can the grid act help promote reliability a

also coming lawmakers in georgia advance a foreign influence law that critics, they are restrict basic freedoms and could be ready. 1 to police these hopes of joining the e u. the legislation fields mass protests and the capital. the article fairly. it's good to have you with us. germany's foreign minister on elena babylon has wrapped up a visit to israel and diffusing tensions with iran. bible comment with prime minister benjamin young to discuss the consequences of the unprecedented aerial attack launched by a run over the weekend earlier in the day she met with is really president issac heard sock in jerusalem. like many of israel's allies, the german foreign minister has been urging de escalation and the conflict in a press conference and tell him he's been glory on airport. bab, of warren, iran attack on israel shows tear on is not afraid of escalating the original conflict. jesus can say i am rare to racing here today. my toe, toe condemnation of this dangerous act and have told my is ready be partners very clearly. israel has a complete solidarity. iran will face consequences by

how does georgia's ruling party square these l georgia's ruling party square these plans with the ideaning the eu? ., , , cause a problem for them “oining the eu? ._ , ., cause a problem for them “oining the eu? , ., , , eu? the way they are presenting toda 's eu? the way they are presenting today's rally _ eu? the way they are presenting today's rally is — eu? the way they are presenting today's rally is that _ eu? the way they are presenting today's rally is that this - eu? the way they are presenting today's rally is that this is - eu? the way they are presenting today's rally is that this is a - today's rally is that this is a general gathering for people who respect their motherland, language and faith. they are talking about preserving traditions, as opposed to... also the country's sovereignty, as opposed to things that might be dictated from the west. 0k, west. ok, thank you very much. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. the good news is that this week is going to be warmer, but it's not always going to be dry. the warmer weather certainly today has been noticed across

the government of georgia elect teeth, and supported by the georgia people. before bernard is profound, where a new piece and its importance for all were concrete, ended. the queen, the essential, is one of the most important mines. you know, american ford and colors, henry kissinger was said that the united states has no permanent friends or enemies willing to interest it should be and probably to quote georgia government as well. and the georgia dream does exactly of that either. second, try you actually, or base a little bit about the transparency of 40 improves. and the proposed legislation. 6 only tons per transparency on the activity. so activities opened on the governmental organization, doesn't it entail uh, any 20 to the majors, for example. and it is a worth, nothing of that many western countries, including usa in france and canada. i have overdue, connected, or is causing the comparable lows hallway with the creek, georgiana for into using similar pollutants legislation. they claim privileges for themselves. why would be 9? there was no diesel rem

we know that about 20000 people in georgia are funded by these 4 and sources. these are people who benefits with the help of non governmental organizations. the rest of the georgia in population does not support this, and everyone will see exactly how many people are opposed to this. and how many people want this lot to work in georgia and for transparency to be there for everyone. thousands of locals in raleigh didn't need you as a cold for all foreign troops and phases to leave the west african country. so it doesn't say the american soldiers are currently in the middle of packing off and leave a shuttle at the door, hitting them on the way out. and his area is also what we think strong as opposed to the military governors, which recently made the decision to scrap a security pots with washington. the african official assigned to the lot of software and c as in main ways it and for the eviction older is the laces set bought for the us and the saw whole region where western influence has been waning recently. opposition policies in nigeria have slammed the us

we know that about 20000 people in georgia are funded by these foreign sources. these are people who benefits with the help of non governmental organizations. the rest of the georgia in population does not support this, and everyone will see exactly how many people are opposed to this. and how many people want this lot to work in georgia and for transparency to be there for everyone. european farmers say they've had enough. the use green agenda has puts a further squeeze already type margins on the is the status with subsidies being abolished and either rock receive increasing. next, the modus operandi with manila chun chronicles why. former protests that we've seen are only likely to increase us the year goes all on. edgar rice's all. that's the take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion, by how us tired vision with no real live indians. fixtures designed to simplify will confuse really one say better wills, and is it just because it shows you few fractured images present? it is, but can you see through their illusio

and that foot against strengthening democratic institutions in georgia, georgia needs to work and reforms to get close to tomato and the repeating union that georgia and people made it clear that they wanted democratic prosper us feud, showing the repeal, erode logic, family. i'm afraid that any law that introduces this idea of 4 and the agents will have an impact on media outlets that also provides in georgia on demand in the better idea of macon, georgia. a stronger and more democratic society. satisfied all these claims by george and liberals in the west that this law is somehow connected to russia. i mean, it's important, understands that the united states has had its own for an agency law since the mid 20th century. and the european union itself also passed its own for an agencies law, although the europeans say it's not a, for an agency's law, it's a defensive democracy package. okay. so what, because of all the tails that talks about this little creates it's a year ago, why now are they choosing to renew these discussions? well, george and elections are coming up on october 26th. a

they are either pro georgia or even pro russia. and the not so many russian and jewels are operating in this particular country. and that's why i believe that this is an artificial scandal that was made by the opposition because unites of national movement is the pro european up position to the georgia dream exactly. to somehow increase their own popularity, but i don't believe the georgians will actually bite. yeah, it's a, it's a bizarre and yet of the surprising thing that, you know, most i receive is to be mentioned and they know they see the west and mainstream media or is labeling this phone agents that are rushed to know the what exactly does most of really have to do with any of it a while, i believe that this is, the russia has nothing to do with this low and the search and way russia has become a certain booty man, uh for the west for georgia and politics as well. and sometimes when you just don't know who to blame, well, you can actually blame russia. i believe that in order to understand what is going on, we have to rea
